The old apartment

I'm trying to come to terms with the reality that we're moving next month. Six more weeks, then a new place to live, never to see the old place again. So I've had the Barenaked Ladies song, "The Old Apartment", stuck in my head a lot lately. Some things that I'll miss about this place:

Seeing "dinosaur dog", the giant schnauser who lives behind us across the alley, from our back kitchen window. Since we moved in he acquired a look-alike companion.

Windows on all four sides, since it's a full flat. The plants love this.

The original dark-stained woodwork on all of the windows and around the living room.

The fireplace that looks quite unauthentic with its knob and fake logs, but that keeps us toasty in winter.

The Halloween parade of adorable children to give candy to.

The adorable children who live downstairs.

To be continued...
